Whether you call it Esquites or Mexican street corn salad, most often this mexican dish is not vegan so I went and made vegan Esquites! This Mexican street corn salad is a simple recipe for a classic Mexican favourite. You can make esquites with canned corn if that’s all you have at home, but I recommend corn from the cob.
What’s better to dip corn chips in? MORE CORN. This vegan Mexican street corn salad dip is a refreshing side to accompany taco night, a backyard barbecue, or a weekend fiesta.
